1994 CADILLAC ELDORADO stop start

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Before changing lanes, check your mirrors. Then use your turn signal.
Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make
sure there isn’t another vehicle
in your “blind” spot.
Once you are moving
on the freeway, make certain you allow .a
reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well
in
advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive
on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be-curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not
to your sense of
motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to
think you are going slower than you actually are.
BEFORE LEAVTNG ONA LONG THP
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when
you’re not fresh
-- such as after a day’s work -- don’t plan to make too
many miles that first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and
shoes you can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it serviced and
maintained, it’s ready to go. If it needs service, have it done before
-
starting out. Of course, you’ll find experienced and able service experts in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll be ready and
willing to help
if you need it.
Here are some things
you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are all windows clean
inside and outside?
Wiper Blades: Are they in good,shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil. Other Fluids: Have you checked all levels?

There: are two;different fuel economy estimates ,for each vehicle., one for.
city driving
and one for highway driving ... To develop these two .estimates,. ;
separate tests .are used to represent typical everyday city and rural
driving.
The test used to determine the city fuel economy estimate simulates a
7.5 mile (12 km), stop and go trip with. an average speed of 20 mph
(32 km/h). The trip takes 23, minutes and: has 18 stops. About one fifth
of the time is spent idling, as in waiting at traffic lights or in rush hour
traffic.
Two. kinds of engine starts are used: a cold start, which is similar to
starting a car in the morning after it has been parked all night and a hot
start, which is similar to restarting a vehicle after it has been warmed up,
driven and stopped for a short time.

The test used to determine the highway fuel economy estimate represents
a mixture of “non-city” driving. Segments corresponding to different
kinds of rural roads and interstate highways are included. The test
simulates a
10- mile (17 km) trip with an average speed. of 48 mph (77
km/h). The test is run from a hot start and has little idling time and no
stops.
To assure that the fuel economy numbers are most useful for consumers,
the EPA adjusts. these .laboratory test. results. to account for the difference
between controlled laboratory conditions and actual, driving on the road.
The laboratory fuel economy results are adjusted downward
to arrive at
the estimates on the fuel economy window sticker and the
Gas Mileage
Guide. The city estimate is lowered by
10 percent and the highway
estimate is lowered by
22 percent from the laboratory test results.
Experience has proven that these adjustments make the mile:age
estimates-correspond more closely to the actual fuel economy realized
by
the average driver.
